The UK's largest game store was just called Game, and these days you're lucky if they've got actual games in stock. It's mostly funko pops and other game related tat. The stores mostly seem located in the back of sports shops.
Physical games are in big trouble.
Oh yeah they have a bunch of merch but luckily not too many funko stuff. I got some mugs from there.
It's sad news though, can't do digital second hand games or borrow one from a friend.
CEX seems to be doing alright though
Game and Gamestop went bankrupt many years ago here.
Physical games are absolutely declining but you can still buy them in regular electronic stores or online. Those options are and have always been cheaper than dedicated game stores anyways.
That's if they're actually available as physical games.
The biggest game of last year (Baldurs Gate 3) wasn't, and the only other games I got were Talos Principle 2 and Thank Goodness You're Here.
A lot of the other stuff I'd have usually bought on sale a bit down the line has been on PS Plus.
I have no idea about that, I just see the shelves occasionally when walking past them. I play exclusively on PC and our physical games have been non-existent for many many years.
